Desire of Nations: A Polynesian Novel

By Ta Reo Pono

Labeled as evolutionary misfits in a failed Darwinian experiment, the Nehune tribe is confined on Kahoolawe for over a century. While living under this scientific shroud, members of a shadow commission hire a Harvard zoologist to hide their existence.
When their homeland is disrupted by military firepower, human sacrifices follow. Islanders, local scientists and a naval officer are forced to intervene when a child is abducted to be a sacrificial offering.
As greed, deception and death cast a dark pall over Hawaii, Nehune legacy becomes a beacon of hope.
In this gripping novel, a story is told of survival and redemption.
